Another Reason for Fewer Newspapers

Just reading a piece from Jeff Jarvis (past editor of NY Daily News) and he outlines the fact that coupons are now available on line for free and listings for movies are now easily attainable online - this has hurt newspaper demand. He believes there was a large population that purchased newspapers for only the coupons. Many would also purchase a newspaper for the local movie listings – all now available online – for free. Certainly, two more factors leading to fewer newspapers is less disposable income for purchases such as a newspaper and electronic news seems to be picking up readers.
